Why a vacation rental needs a different kind of chef

You booked the rental for the view, the space, the privacy. Then you walked into the kitchen.

The Wolf range looked great in the listing. The pans are warped. There's one chef's knife and it's dull. The cutting board is plastic, scarred, and slightly bowed. Whoever cooks in this kitchen — you, your spouse, a hired chef — is going to spend the first 45 minutes figuring out what's missing before they can start.

That's the problem we solve. We do a pre-stay kitchen audit. We bring induction burners, sharp knives, sheet pans, plating ware, and everything else the rental's kitchen probably doesn't have. We coordinate with your host. We cook the meal. And we restore the kitchen to host standard before we leave — so your security deposit is never in question.

How it works

From booking to dinner served, four steps.

A vacation rental dinner has more moving parts than a private home. We've built a process for it.

17–10 days

Pre-stay kitchen audit

We confirm the rental's equipment list, photograph the kitchen, and identify what we'll bring. Host coordination is included.

2Day-of

Arrival prep

We arrive 90–120 minutes before service with groceries, equipment, linens. We brief on dietary notes, finalize timing.

3Service

In-rental service

Hot food, plated and timed. You're at the table with your guests. We move through courses at your pace.

4After

Restored to host standard

Dishes washed and put away. Counters wiped. Trash and recycling sorted. Notes for the next guest if asked.

Pricing

Starting at $150 per person.

Three tiers based on the experience you want — family-style weeknight, plated three-course dinner, or multi-course tasting menu. Pricing is per person, includes shopping, cooking, service, and full kitchen restoration. Equipment is included; rentals at cost only when the kitchen genuinely lacks something we can't bring.

No surprise fees. We send a written proposal with menu, pricing, and timing before you commit.
